Embodied Language Teaching: Add Movement to Your Classroom

Targeted to Intermediate English (B1+) speakers.Read more

This is the standard requirement for most courses. Participants at this level can participate actively in discussions and manage everyday and professional situations. If they are unsure about their English level, they can test it here or explore our courses facilitated in Basic English.

Cross-Curricular.Read more

The listed audiences are those for whom the course is especially recommended, but courses are not exclusive to them and are open to everyone. In fact, most of our workshops are built around the collective sharing of participants’ experiences and having a variety of profiles enriches the learning process and is highly encouraged!

Description

Language is a physical skill: it begins in the body.

Yet many language learners are so focused on exam preparation and completing grammar exercises in their books that they forget about their bodies completely and begin to think of language only in abstract, academic terms.

Such students often excel in reading and writing, yet freeze in fear when they have to speak, unable to express themselves authentically.

When we include the body in language learning, it provides learners with a valuable tool to explore abstract concepts concretely, to express themselves clearly and confidently, and to connect with their second language, not just intellectually, but emotionally and physically as well.

This course will introduce participants to the concept of embodied language learning to make language learning more concrete and physical for their students.

Useful activities will be included in this course, with demonstrations to help participants incorporate or adapt them to their lessons.

During the course, participants will discuss theories of embodied learning, learn physical strategies to teach pronunciation and intonation, explore the use of drama to teach non-verbal language and promote fluency, experiment with embodying grammar, and create lesson plans for their class.

By the end of this course, participants will have a deeper understanding of the concepts of embodied language learning and will have reconnected with the English language physically and emotionally.

They will have learned practical strategies to help their students improve their pronunciation and intonation, develop fluency and confidence, concretely explore grammatical concepts, and express themselves authentically in their second language.
